In 2016, students were invited to submit short films that would be judged:

“…according to the degree to which they convince the judges that the Adelaide ParkLands are worth preserving for future generations to be accessible and for the use ofall. The potential of the films to entertain while raising awareness of the uniquenessof the Adelaide Park Lands will also be considered, as will creative excellence andinnovation.”

The five short-listed finalists were screened at an awards ceremony at Wilderness on Friday 9 September. Fittingly, four of the five finalists were from Wilderness. The competition unearthed not only some talented young film-makers, but also a passion in the next generation to protect our city's rare heritage.
